He shouldn't evolve it. They've already established a great friendship, it would be terrible to have to start it over again (like when Charmander evolved). If he wants a Raichu, let him catch another one.

I wholeheartedly believe that Pikachu should join TR. Mostly because I don't care and never watch the anime. It's too fake for me. Kinda like wrestling.

Not all wrestling is fake. (high school wrestling)

Back to the topic, I do think Ash should evolve Pikachu eventually, because a lot of the battles he fights with Pikachu are very unrealistic. Since Pikachu isn't very strong, they have to make up stupid creative ways for Ash to win that would most likely never happen. Anyone else remember how Pikachu beat that Rhydon?

But to the real topic, no, because Pikachu has become too much of the official icon for Pokemon. Look at every product. Pikachu is everywhere.

EDITED: Remember kids are at these forums too.

I think when the very last (and i mean very last) ewpisode of pokemon shows, then ash will evolve pikachu because as antigua said - he is too much of an icon - people world-wide know pikachu when they see it. even parents and grandparents!!!!

It is very unlikely that Ash will let go of Pikachu (I was hoping that he would back in Episode 40 Pikachus Goodbye) if anything I hope Pikachu will just become tired of Ash's rambling on and go back to his pokeball where he bolongs!

pikachu did temporarily join team rocket along with the whole town's pokemon (can't remember what the episode was called) but Team Rocket used a drowzee to hypnotise all the pokemon (dus anyone remember that? it was a pretty long time ago)

True Antigua. Anyone seen the pictures of the Pikachu Vaccuum they had over in Japan? And no I'm definently not joking. It was real and at the time I wouldn't mind having one at that time (this was a few years back by the way).
And hey, look at my name (which I am surprised no one has mention my name - afterall I MOD this board ;P). Pika is in there and the little guy beat Mickey Mouse in TV Guide's Top <insert number here> Most Popular Cartoon Characters. That is something, to beat Mickey Mouse...

Anywho - I don't want to see Pikachu evolved. I mean, they can do it if they want only cause I got my load of Pikachu plushies to keep my sanity (haha only kidding ^_^;; ). But yeah. Me = dork. ;P

In the past I personally would have loved Ash to evolve Pikachu just because I found it annoying and Raichu just looks badass. But now I'm generally apathetic toward Pikachu; it's cute at times but it gets really annoying the way it just warbles its name every two seconds in Advanced. Remember when Pikachu sounded cute? Yeah, now it just screeches a lot.

Pikachu is like Meowth and Wobbuffet, a mascot of the two main teams of Pokemon (Team Ash and Team Rocket), and it doesn't matter how many people might hate it. More people will always love Pikachu, and it won't ever go anywhere. Even if it gets to the point where Ash isn't on the show anymore, a Pikachu will still be there. It's Pokemon's mascot.

I think it was called "Pikachu Revolts" or something like that, that was like the only episode where Team Rocket (Jesse and James) actually did something good.

Sorry I can't edit the poll, if anyone can it would be the Mods or Admins.

It would be nice to see someone else catch a Pika on the show and evolve it. Or at least something happens to Ash's Pikachu.

I really think he should, but not now. He's an icon and the symbol of Pok

Three things:

1. The show probably won't be cancelled for a long time in Japan. Pokemon is still insanely popular and shows go on for decades and decades over there (Power Rangers is on its 30th season next year...). It'll probably be cancelled some day in America, but it currently serves its purpose in promoting the games. Pokemon is still popular enough as a franchise to warrant the US Anime's existence.

2. Ash already beat Gary in the Silver Conference.

3. Just in general, the only way I ever see Pikachu evolving would indeed be during whenever the final episode takes place, and it would be Pikachu's choice, because Ash has had the choice to evolve him since the beginning and doesn't want to if Pikachu doesn't.

Is there a differecne about what I said?

I didn't saw the Ash vs. Gary episode, but I definately think that the final episode will include a really important battle, maybe Gary again, but more powerful than ever.

Oh, hmm... I misread what you originally posted there, about Pikachu's choice. Sorry about that.

Well, Gary's become a Pokemon Researcher in the Anime and he's given up his trainer days, so I don't see him fighting Ash again. Whenever the final episode of Pokemon happens, I see Ash winning a Pokemon League tournament, but against who I don't know.
